A tool for running pandoc when a file is saved in an inbox directory:
|
|
|
|
~~~ { .shell }
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
INBOX=/pub/markdown/inbox
|
|
OUTBOX=../outbox/
|
|
PANDOC=/home/levi/bin/pandoc_wrapper
|
|
cd $INBOX
|
|
inotifywait -mqre close_write --format '%f' ${INBOX} | while read FILE
|
|
do
|
|
echo "Detected write on file: ${FILE}"
|
|
${PANDOC} ${FILE} ${OUTBOX}
|
|
done
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
The `pandoc_wrapper` is a script that calls pandoc with the appropriate parameters for the document formatting I want to do. It takes a source file and a destination directory as parameters; it automatically creates the destination name based on the source file name and the destination directory. |
